First off, you have to give CSC Funk Band props just for being a funk band in Brooklyn, where street cred in the indie music scene usually means you're either noisy, punky or synthy, but not necessarily funky. The second reason why the nine guys in CSC deserve fist bumps is because they're good. These dudes aren't turning out the kind of lazy, revivalist funk that's more send-up than it is true funk.

about
CSC brings the horns, the rhythm and the swagger like it's 1972. This track, from the band's forthcoming 7" split with Superhuman Happiness, grooves with an easy gait as tight brass takes center stage. Clocking in at just a little over the 3-minute mark, this funky instrumental could easily be the theme song of a new Brooklyn-based cop show. Close your eyes and let CSC take you undercover with a new breed of cop show funk!
